His Truth

“During the time he was in Jerusalem, those days of the Passover Feast, many people noticed the signs He was displaying and, seeing they pointed straight to God, entrusted their lives to him.  But Jesus didn’t entrust his life to them.  He knew them inside and out, knew how untrustworthy they were, he didn’t need any help in seeing right through them.”   John 2:23-25

“The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked.  Who really knows how bad it is?”  Isaiah 43:4

“You are precious in my eyes and honored, and I love you.”   Jeremiah 17:9

What people say to and about you does not change or even effect who you are.  You are My beloved.  Do not let things people say or do affect your behavior or perception of yourself.  If people called you a slave it would not make you one; what matters is the truth, your belief of the truth and how you behave in response to what you believe.  Slavery happens in the heart not in the outside circumstances.  Joseph was called a slave by all around him for many years but he knew it was not My truth.  He was never a slave in his heart.  I had given him a dream telling him who he was and what his destiny was to be; it planted the seed in his heart of who he really was in Me.  Through all the difficult years he clung to My truth and put aside the lie of slavery.  He did not bow to his master’s wife’s desires, he did not bow to being a prisoner, and he did not bow to the idea of defeat; He saw My Truth and pursued it.  When truth met actuality, he became ruler of all Egypt second only to the Pharaoh, he was not surprised because it had always been the My Truth revealed years earlier in his dream.  Jesus did not let either the praise nor the scorn of men affect Him; He knew the truth that He was My Beloved Son in whom I was well pleased.  Neither should you allow let idle comments from people who do not know you affect you.  They will say positive things one day and negative things the next, but you have the same identity—My beloved—greatly loved and pleasing son/daughter.  Nothing changes that identity.  You are My own highly honored and I love you.
